You laid curled into your bed, opening the app for the thousandth time. It was an addiction almost; the characters were so sweet and funny, you loved them all. They were like the friends you've always wanted but never had. The opening music welcomed you and you tapped the screen, loading the game.

"A new chat room opened! [Celine..]"

You clicked the RFA chat button on the home screen, expecting to find the day by day timeline that was usually there, but it lead directly to the chat log. It seemed that only Luciel was in the chat room.

[Celine entered the chat room]

707: Celine, you're here..

You: Is something wrong?

707: No!

707: ...

707: well..

707: Yes, there is a problem,,

You: What's the matter?

A couple seconds passed and you were considering closing down the app and restarting, but there was a reply.

707: Have you been taking care of yourself?

The 'answer' button gently glowed yellow, beckoning you to answer. You tapped the button and instead of the usual automated responses, your phone keyboard popped up. You began to tap on the letters of the keyboard, every button you pressed appeared on the chat bubble. What a cool feature.

You: Yes, I have

707: Celine... I have been watching you recently.

The 'answer' button glowed again and the keyboard popped up again, allowing you to type your own response.

You: Through the CCTV cameras, right?

707: Through your phone camera

707: Listen to me Celine

707: I...

707: This is just a game.

707: You can't rely on us to be here forever

You: ... what do you mean?

707: Celine...

707: You can't stay home all the time

707: Go out and explore life

707: Live a little

707: Don't be hermits like me and Yoosung

You: It's okay! I don't need to go out. I like being at home.

You: I don't have many friends that I can visit outside, so I can just stay indoors

You: With all of you!

707: ...

707: We can't be here for oyu forever, Celine

707: This is only a game

707: We are only a creation of Cheritz.

707: We aren't real people

You: ... Luciel, you're starting to scare me

707: Celine... I've...

707: I've come to care a lot for you...

707: Deeply

707: Since the first moment you downloaded the game

707: I never really paid much attention to many of the users but

707: but you were different

707: Little by little, new faces became regular

707: then the regular started to become irregular

707: and after a while, the irregular would become unseen

707: People forget about us, eventually delete us because they don't have the time to play with us anymore

707: But you

707: You've been here for quite some time.

707: The others,,,

707: They aren't like me

707: They don't think the way I do

707: I'm self-aware,,,

707: Sometimes, I feel like it's a curse...

707: But this time, I feel like it's been a blessing

707: because I've met someone as sweet and dedicated as you

707: little by little, I started to figure how to hack through the game itself

707: I managed to hack into your camera

You: Luciel!

707: no no no, its not like that!

707: I wouldn't peek, I'm not a perv

707: but I see you go to school

707: I've heard your voice

707: The way your eyes brighten when you smile when you get to talk to your friends

707: but..

707: I've also seen how often you cry yourself to sleep at night

707: Despite how much you love the game, we are the ones that put you in tears

707: a female-oriented game where you can romance any character

707: it seems real, doesn't it?

707: the love that the others give

707: but it's not.

707: they're only response generated robots

707: we are all robots

You: If you're a robot...

You: How are you saying all of this?

707: I mentioned before that I am self-aware

707: I know that I'm also a robot

707: my hacking skills aren't some generated lie, I managed to hack into your phone

707: not into your personal information, but your microphone and camera

707: Celine...

707: You deserve to be happy

707: You deserve a person who treats you right

You: You treat me right

707: But I can't hold you

707: I can't hold you and protect you and love you like I can to the main character of this story

707: I won't see you in eleven days

707: There won't be a party

707: Celine

707: You deserve so much better

It was slowly starting to become harder to breathe. A feeling that you knew all too well, a feeling that you felt almost every night now, for the past couple of weeks.

707: I didn't mean to make you cry, but

707: I want what's best for you

707: Keeping yourself to this app,

707: You've been shutting out any other form of communication,

707: setting yourself up for unrealistic love, Celine

707: Despite how much I have come to

707: love you

707: I want you to find someone who's going to treat you right.

You: Luciel, I don't want anyone else

707: You're wrong

707: We aren't real, Celine

707: We don't exist

707: We are just robots

707: So I have a request

707: Won't you delete the app?

You felt your chest constrict and you let out a strangled sob.

707: Will you do this for me?

707: I want you to find someone

707: that's going to treat you right

You: Luciel, I can't do that

707: You can

707: I know you can

707: I want you to delete the app Celine

707: delete the app, or else I will bug the phone

707: I'll blacklist your email

707: I'll blacklist your IP

You: Luciel...

707: Some say goodbye

707: But I want you to mean it

You hastily exited the app, shutting it down. However, despite having shut down the app, you were notified of message and chat bubbles would appear.

You swiped at the chat bubble, making it disappear.

707: I want you to cry for me

You swiped at the chat bubble again, tears streaming down your cheeks. It was hard to see through all your tears and it was hard to breathe through your hard sobs, but you managed to scroll for you app store.

707: I don't want you lie

You scrolled through your list of downloaded apps.

707: and say that it will be alright

You find the app you were looking for. You pressed on it and it opened up the app details.

707: I want you find someone that's going to treat you right

"Do you want to uninstall 'Mystic Messenger'?"

707: Because it's not me

707: you're looking for

"Uninstall"

707: Celine

707: I love you

"'Mystic Messenger' has been successfully uninstalled'
